Steam gets free to play games

Steam has now joined the mass collective, with free to play games supported by microtransactions now hitting the online service.

Available immediately, the launch titles are Spiral Knights, Forsaken Worlds, Champions Online: Free for All, Global Agenda: Free Agent, and Alliance of Valliant Arms.

The games will be released from each day from wednesday to sunday in the order listed above. Each of the five launch titles will offer exclusive in-game content to those who try the “F2P game of the day” on Steam.

Is this the next evolution of Valve’s online distribution service?
